We've slightly changed campus locations a few times as necessary over the years, to prevent being shut down by the university. Though we originally coded our own webcam software in AppleScript along with the shareware/freeware programs Anarchie, Clip2Gif, and MacHTTP, we now use commercial webcam software.

Historically, the first webcam actually predated the web. The Trojan Room coffee pot cam at the University of Cambridge came online way back in 1991.
